Hill Country Racer

In 2016, Hill Country Racer was removed from the park to make way for Thunder Rapids Water Coaster. Hill Country Racer was a multi-lane racing slide that was situated in Hurricane Harbor from 2006 to 2016. Before its installation at Fiesta Texas, Hill Country Racer was located at the defunct AstroWorld theme park in Houston.
